The border security funding provision had passed both the House and Senate by nearly unanimous margins, but was 'mysteriously' stripped out in joint committee. A nice trick, don't you think?

Sen. So-and-So: "Aw, golly-- I voted to get that border secured, but those darn [Democrats/Republicans] wouldn't support the appropriations bill!"

The guy quoted in the article as being upset that the provision was mysteriously removed was South Carolina's Lindsy Graham. Graham is the biggest apologist for illegals in the U.S. Senate next to John McCain. He was the one who pushed for amnesty by saying "we are going to tell the racists to shut up!" Now the little snake knows he is in trouble (he is up for election in 08) so he is posturing like he is for a secure border. Hey, Sen. Graham, you little phony, SHUT UP!

They take our money and do with it as they please- they give it to Mexico, give it to abortionists, give it to dictators, give it to able-bodied welfare queens, waste it on endless foreign wars. We cry out to have our border secured, partly for our security, partly because we want to stem the tide of entitlements that we are forced to provide. But no one fears our cry. They only maneuver, posture, finger point, give excuse after excuse. At the end of the day, one thing is assured: we will not be represented.

Yet they continue to exact their claim upon our paychecks. This is not freedom, my brothers and sisters.
